Hi Andy
Very interesting hobby and that project is something very unusual and so nice to follow !!!!
I understand you are like me ; in love with cars and ... modeling
Some years ago I started to draw in scale 1/35 the French version of " Surprise" ( Master and commander ) which name was l'Unité before to be captured with project to do the boat with sailors when being captured .... unfortunatly I did not follow by the lake of any good sailors figures to start with
So I started an 1/35 hudge military diorama Sebastopol under assaul during ww2
But again stopped the project due to car project for Le mans race !!
Will follow your progress with big interest

Here is a pic of my dad who built an HMS Victory replica. When I was in Portsmouth I was able to board the ship back in 1990. He built 13 ships like these during his retirement...

A fantastic model by dad there viper, I'm not looking forward to doing the rigging and might have to steal JimmeyMac's fly fishing tools to help me....

Mic, thanks for the additional info that diorama has a shed load of models in it, and yes I to have about 15 kits of 1/35 scale german ww2 figures, jerry cans, barrels ready for a BR52 Kriegslog (spelling?) build. Yet another project is my live steam 'Evening Star' gauge 1 loco and I also have plans for a BR52 live steam... never bored here....

I can't come up with ships,
but I manufactured model airplanes in my company for 15 years until 2003 when the Chinese hacked my servers and stole all my CAD/CNC data and customer data,
so the business was soon over
